Chapter 5 The Number One Conman in the Cycle of Reincarnation
Liu Qianhuang took the lead and walked out casually. The others followed closely behind.
"Compared to the world of Shinichiroku, this place is like an amusement park."
Taking a breath of the not-so-fresh air from the beehive, Liu Qianhuang thought to himself.
The air here might be fresh, but it's unlikely that the air here is actually very fresh.
"Ultra-Unknown's World in China? Was this a world that blended the game and the movie from the beginning? Or did a major historical upheaval occur, causing these different worldviews to be stitched together?"
Liu Qianhuang pondered to himself, noticing the text on the back of the mercenary's uniform.
UBCS
Full name: Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service
The translation is Umbrella Biohazard Emergency Response Team.
Although the name sounds impressive, this so-called UBCS isn't even a formal employee of the Umbrella Corporation; they don't even have a permanent position. As mercenaries, they're just a bunch of contract workers paid fifty dollars a month.
Therefore, it can't be said that these people were treated like royalty by their boss; they weren't even worthy of eating in the employee cafeteria of the Umbrella Corporation.
Perhaps these few UBCs members in front of me, when they are alone in the quiet of the night, will beat their chests and lament, "My life is so bitter, as bitter as bitter herbs in a crack in a rock, as bitter as weeds under a wheel."
As Carlos said, do you think any dog owner would tell his dog why it went to retrieve the stick that was just thrown? The members of UBCS also knew very well that in the eyes of the Umbrella Corporation's higher-ups, they were nothing more than a pack of dogs.
It is precisely because of this clear self-awareness that these people have virtually no loyalty to the protection network. This gives the reincarnators the opportunity to leverage information asymmetry to win over these individuals for their help.
Thinking of this, Liu Qianhuang turned around and glanced at Zhang Jie, who was protecting everyone in front of him. He didn't know what the other party was thinking.
As for whether his plans will be disrupted by the other party's underhanded tactics?
It's absolutely impossible. Zhang Jie is just a nobody; where would he get the audacity to sabotage his plans? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Well, he actually understood what the other person was thinking at that moment; they were simply figuring out how to use this horror movie to get rid of him, this "unstable factor."
After all, for Zhang Jie, a stranger who not only knew his true identity but was also far stronger than him and a "veteran" in the God Space was indeed a huge threat.
However, it's not a big deal, since the opponent's strength poses no threat to me at all. If I follow the original Resident Evil storyline step by step, there won't be a situation where I'm strong enough to kill him.
That's why if Zhang Jie wants to use the power of horror movies to get rid of himself, he'll actually need to obediently help him boost his rating.
After all, only by racking up enough points can one drastically alter the plot and create variables that could be fatal to him.
Little Zhang Jie, easily mastered.
"Welcome to Hell, Mr. James Sheldon."
Liu Qianhuang looked as if he had suddenly remembered something, and calmly spoke to the black captain in front of him.
How did you know?
Upon hearing this, James paused for a moment.
"JD Salinas, Chad Kaplan, Ryan Ocampo..."
But that wasn't all. Like reciting a menu, Liu Qianhuang began calling out the names of the other team members one by one.
Each time a name was called, the person corresponding to it would pause for a moment. But when he called the medic and the remaining two mercenaries, he stopped, a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
"I'm sorry, I really can't remember the names of all of you gentlemen. After all, if it's disposable chopsticks, I'll probably forget them after the meal."
Although the tone was awkward, the content was extremely cold, directly revealing the true nature of this group of mercenaries.
Upon hearing this, the medic and the remaining two mercenaries' expressions immediately turned ugly, but none of them uttered a word of rebuttal.
Liu Qianhuang sighed, then continued speaking slowly and deliberately:
"Sigh, I never expected it would be you guys who came. It seems I've been abandoned."
He paused, gently patted his forehead with his right hand, but there was no resentment of being abandoned in his tone; rather, it was as if he was annoyed by a trivial matter.
"Oh right, look at my memory! Staying up too late really ruins it. I haven't even introduced myself yet. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Shi Ming, a high-ranking executive at Umbrella Corporation. But there's no need to be so formal."
His gaze swept across James's face and then over the other mercenaries.
"We have all been abandoned."
As Liu Qianhuang finished speaking, the surrounding environment fell silent.
"So, we're just here to die, right?"
Finally, James spoke first, breaking the silence. He didn't doubt the other person's identity; judging from his cold attitude towards them and his familiarity with UBC intelligence, he knew that the other person was a top-tier member of the Umbrella Corporation.
"Hyouka, you guessed right, but I don't have much to give you in return, so I can only give you a thumbs up."
Liu Qianhuang gave James a thumbs-up, praising him.
Then the conversation shifted.
"But luckily you ran into me and escaped with your lives."
"Hey, Spencer, your days of betraying Umbrella Corporation for profit are over. Give me the stuff. Seven seconds, I'll give you seven seconds at most."
Liu Qianhuang said to Spence.
Upon hearing this, Spence was taken aback at first, then excitedly said to James, "Your name is James, right? Hurry up and kill this Umbrella Corporation lackey. I know how to leave Hive. We'll sell the virus together, split the money, and then fly far away so we don't have to put up with this dog Umbrella Corporation's bullying anymore."
That's not how it's supposed to go in the original Resident Evil storyline! Why are you having someone kill me right off the bat?
It shouldn't have been me first. "Hey, Spencer, the days of you opening portals all the time have come."
Give me the Yamato sword.
Then you reply, "If you want it, you'll have to come and get it yourself."
"You already know this rule."
Me: "I knew you'd say that."
You: "How many times have we fought?"
Me: "I can't say for sure."
"In my childhood memories, we were always fighting."
Then we both exchanged ambiguous smiles.
Finally, I said, "It's time to put an end to this, Spencer."
You: "That'll solve everything."
A seemingly meaningless drumbeat rang out, and we began to fight passionately.
Why did you come up here and immediately call for people to kill me? I don't accept that.
Thinking of this, Liu Qianhuang stroked his non-existent beard, then suddenly rushed forward and, with a single chop, severed the other man's head.
Because Liu Qianhuang was moving so fast, the headless corpse even maintained its standing posture from when it was alive.
Moments later, bright red blood gushed out from the cut on his neck, like a scarlet fountain, instantly turning the surrounding air into a bloody mist.
Immediately afterwards, the corpse collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut, its limbs still twitching nervously.
The severed head rolled to one side, its eyes wide open, its expression frozen in shock and disbelief at being approached by Liu Qianhuang before it was killed.
Spence never understood how humans could possess such terrifying speed until his death.
Defeating Spence will reward you with a C-rank side quest and 3,000 reward points.
"You've given me my first reward since entering the Main God Space. I'll probably never forget you, Spencer."
Upon hearing the notification from the main deity, Liu Qianhuang shook off imaginary blood from his hands and thought to himself, "Thank goodness I learned the water-avoidance technique from Yuan Shu, the emperor of the East Sea, which allows me to kill without shedding blood; otherwise, I'd be in real trouble right now."
However, unlike Liu Qianhuang, who was completely at ease at this moment, the others were not so comfortable. Apart from Zhang Jie and Zhao Yingkong, the other reincarnators had never seen such a scene before.
Seeing the column of blood rising in front of him, Zheng Zha skipped the vomiting step and immediately threw up everything he had eaten before coming. He was seen supporting himself against the wall with one hand and pressing his stomach with the other, his eyes filled with terror.
Zhan Lan vomited even faster than Zheng Zha. While Zheng Zha was still leaning against the wall, she was already kneeling on the ground. Her glasses were askew, her whole body was curled up, her shoulders were convulsing, and in the end, only dry heaving could be heard. Her fingers dug into the ground, her nails scraping against the metal floor with a harsh sound.
...
They ignored the other newlyweds who were now rushing to vomit.
"Spence. A corporate spy. He stole the T-virus and antiviral serum and hid them in the train. He was responsible for the Hive's loss of control. I was going to spare his life, but he said he'd have me killed."
Liu Qianhuang pointed to Spencer's head and explained to the UBCs members who were pointing their guns at him out of nervousness.
Because the terrifying power he had just displayed had frightened these fifty-dollar contract workers, the UBCs members all had expressions of utter disbelief.
"As for the T-virus, it's a virus that causes mutations in the host by accelerating metabolism and severely erodes the cerebral cortex, leading to a severe decline in the infected person's intelligence and making them extremely aggressive. In layman's terms, it turns people into zombies."
He began to explain the T-virus.
"but,"
Liu Qianhuang released his inner strength, slowly lifting himself up amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd. Since he wasn't Tiger Staff, he didn't need to worry about suddenly dying.
"This wasn't Umbrella Corporation's original intention in researching the T-virus. The reason they researched it was to use the T-virus to achieve human evolution. So, despite the extremely high mortality rate, some special individuals, after being injected with the T-virus, still evolve to a new level. Not only are their physical abilities greatly enhanced, but they can even gain superpowers such as telekinesis. And I am the lucky one who evolved through the T-virus."
Liu Qianhuang does this: he releases his internal energy to lift himself up, and then insists that he has telekinesis.
As for why he possessed internal energy, you'd have to ask Sima Daqiang. Actually, he didn't originally have internal energy, but after being struck by Sima Daqiang's Bone-Strengthening Palm so many times, he learned it.
